We’re supporting community projects across the UK that bring people together and make a positive difference.
Small grants are available to support grassroots community projects that improve quality of life and strengthen local communities. The fund supports practical, community-led initiatives, such as improving shared spaces, providing equipment, or enhancing local services, with a focus on delivering meaningful and lasting impact.
Who Can Apply
The competition is open to UK-based community groups, charities, not-for-profit organisations, schools, pre-schools, and community or local authority-run projects.
Applicants must be UK residents aged 18 or over and may apply on behalf of an eligible community project.
Grants of £3,000 are available.
Eligible Expenditure
Funding supports a wide range of community-focused projects, including:
- Equipment for inclusive sports or activity groups.
- Revamping a village hall or community centre.
- Supplies for a community garden or green space.
- Equipment for food banks, community larders or support services.
- Brightening up a charity or community group’s space.
- New equipment for a pre-school or playground.
How To Apply
Applications must be submitted by the deadline of 31 May 2026 (23:59).
